I agree he really had a good camp and preseason I like what he brings to the table the problem is we have explosive tate and edleman .. welker coming back with Moss extra nasty... hernandez is basically a beast wideout playing a tight end super explosive. gronky... sooo not sure how much he would play.... but i agree what a stud i hope he makes it on the field in a regular season game and show us something....

He had a couple great plays in the pre-season but I also know a number of other WR's that looked great during pre-season and never sniffed a regular season game.

What I saw out of him was a raw player with potential much like Price, Tate, Jackson, Childress, Nunn. Point being pre-season is pre-season and he didn't beat out Tate, Edelman, Welker, or Moss. Slater is the ST player they decided to keep instead of Alexander or Aiken so Jenkins wasn't going to replace him. It boiled down to Price or Jenkins and they didn't spend a 3rd on Jenkins.

Now he does have the potential to develop into a #2/3 WR but at worst I see him as PS material and at best currently he's an insurance policy against injury or if Tate/Price don't continue to develop, maybe trade bait for a desperate team later on. I just don't see him as a long term WR for the team with Welker, Edelman, Tate, Hernandez, and Price all signed for the foreseeable future

If Jenkins really becomes more valuable, the Patriots' front office will give him a contract while he's sitting on the practice squad. That's how they put golden handcuffs on 2009 seventh rounder Darrell Richard around last December 15.

Glad he's back with the team. One question. If he is too explosive to be on the practice squad how come not one team in the entire NFL signed him to their active roster, as of right now?Posted by Low-FB-IQ

cauz he is raw talent and no one highers raw talent right now, teams plug immediate holes.

That's the right question. There are several WR-needy teams out there. He needs time, might develop, might not.

OK point made.....I agree but who do we get rid of or who loss's palytime to him............Moss, Welker , Price , Edleman , Tate, There is only one ball to go around........offense isn't a concern.........we should be petrified with the corners we are putting on the field............

Athletic talent, yes, but he needs to learn to catch the ball with his hands. In college, you can cradle the ball in your stomach, which is what we see most of in his highlight reel, but with pro arms (like Brady's), those balls are going to bounce off your shoulder pads and become INT's.

Pats are fairly deep at WR. Good base to build around, but who knows. Can he beat a bump? Run precise routes? Find a soft spot in a zone? Run an "option" route in the way the QB expects? Fast off the snap? Many reasons can keep a physically gifted athlete off the field. That being said, maybe in a year or two he develops into a legit NFL WR. You can't teach speed or big play ability, hopefully he can learn what he's lacking.
